More options that got left off the list...

8. Budget penalty for underachieving teams & budget bonus for winning. $10M more or less won't throw the game off balance, and it's kind of realistic, right?

9. Allow owners to transfer their franchises from the AL to NL, and vise versa. Provided you can find a willing owner in the other league to swap positions with, what's the harm? It worked for the Brewers and Astros...

10. Double headers! Just 3 or 4 each season, like in the good old days.

11. Allow GMs to upload custom team logos. How much chaos could it create, right?

12. Fix the nonsensical formula for determining Gold Glove winners at catcher.

13. How can a 2B's arm strength not matter when turning a DP??? Check the stats; apparently in HBD, it doesn't...

14. ... please offer your suggestion, post below


Thanks & enjoy!

A little bit about Schmidt:

• Of all HBD worlds, Schmidt might have the deepest roster of skilled owners who have won 1 or several world series titles. This is a very good world for swapping strategies, polishing skills and testing your stuff against quality competition.

• Inexperienced owners are welcome. Our veteran owners have historically been very generous with advice and coaching, but we also recommend new owners refrain from trades for the first season as they learn the ropes.

• We have a minimum win requirement (MWR) to discourage tanking. Repeat: we in Schmidt loathe tanking. Fall below the threshold (120 wins over 2 seasons) and a 5-member committee reviews the case and recommends either dismissal or probation. That 120 win threshold for 2 seasons is generally pretty easy to meet, even if you're trying to exit a few veteran contracts and pursue prospects.

• Highest priorities are good humor and minimal drama.

We look forward to hearing from you! You may post below or sitemail the commish (me)

Another option! Allow GM to make trades involving Draft Picks!
